One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving an input content, and receiving ambient contextual data indicative of one or more ambient lighting conditions of an environment including a display device. The input content has corresponding metadata that at least partially represents a creative intent indicative of how the input content is intended to be viewed. The method further comprises adaptively correcting the input content based on the ambient contextual data to preserve the creative intent, and providing the corrected input content to the display device for presentation. The adaptively correcting comprises applying automatic white balancing to the input content to correct color tone of the input content.

Methods and systems are described for processing an image captured with an image sensor, such as a camera. In one embodiment, an estimated ambient light level of the captured image is determined and used to compute an optical-optical transfer function (OOTF) that is used to correct the image to preserve an apparent contrast of the image under the estimated ambient light level in a viewing environment. The estimated ambient light level is determined by scaling pixel values from the image sensor using a function that includes exposure parameters and a camera specific parameter derived from a camera calibration.

A redundantly printed security-enhanced document, printing method, and system for better ensuring that the meaning of the information imparted by variable indicia printed by redundant printing indicia on a document protected by a removable Scratch-Off Coating (SOC). By printing the variable indicia with multiple colors, redundancy and integrity of the intended indicia is achieved relative to the perception of human eye photoreceptor cones. The redundantly printed document, methods, and systems enhance the overall appearance of the redundantly printed document, and reduce possible consequences resulting from misprinted variable indicia.

Luminance data indicating luminance of the print product illuminated by the lighting is calculated and processing for causing a high luminance region to have gradation characteristics is performed.

An image processing apparatus including: a first obtaining unit configured to obtain first image data to be printed; a second obtaining unit configured to obtain second image data indicating a subject identical to that of the first image data and expressed by a geometric condition different from that of the first image data; and a first determination unit configured to determine ink amounts of respective inks including a first ink which reflects light in a normal reflection and a second ink which is different from the first ink and has a ratio of an intensity of light reflected in the normal reflection direction to an intensity of light reflected in the diffuse direction smaller than that of the first ink in a case where light based on brightness at each position of the first image data and the second image data.

An image display apparatus displays an image to be printed on a desired printing medium by using a desired printing apparatus. In this process, medium images corresponding to the tint of the printing medium illuminated with one of illumination light fluxes having a plurality of color temperatures are displayed on a specific display with the medium images associated with the color temperatures of the illumination light fluxes, and specification of one of the medium images or the color temperature associated with the medium image is accepted. When the specification is made, an illumination light flux reflecting image having the tint of the image printed on the printing medium by the printing apparatus and illuminated with the illumination light flux having the color temperature corresponding to the specification is displayed on the specific display.

The present technique relates to a telemedicine system, a telemedicine method, an information processing device, and a program that allow a medical practitioner to more accurately obtain visual information on a patient in telemedicine.

The telemedicine system includes a first imaging unit that images a patient in a first space, an image processing unit that corrects an image of the patient based on imaging conditions in a first space and display conditions in a second space for displaying the image of the patient imaged in the first space, and a display unit that displays the corrected image of the patient in the second space. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a telemedicine system.

A device comprises memory, a display characterized by a display characteristic, and processors coupled to the memory. The processors execute instructions causing the processors to receive data indicative of the display characteristic, data indicative of ambient lighting, and data indicative of content characteristics for a content item; determine a tone mapping curve for the content item based on the data indicative of content characteristics; determine a first, so-called “anchor” point along the tone mapping curve; modify a first portion of the tone mapping curve below the anchor point based on the data indicative of ambient lighting; modify a second portion of the tone mapping curve above the anchor point based on the data indicative of the display characteristic; perform tone mapping for the content item based on the modified toned mapping curve to obtain a tone mapped content item; and cause the display to display the tone mapped content item.

A method for digital image enhancement on a display of an electronic device includes receiving, by the electronic device, an original image, sensing, by the electronic device, an ambient light, generating, by the electronic device, a virtual content appearance of the original image based on the ambient light and characteristics of the display of the electronic device, determining, by the electronic device, a compensating color tone for the original image based on the virtual content appearance, modifying, by the electronic device, the original image based on the compensating color tone for the original image, and displaying, by the electronic device, the modified original image for a current viewing condition.

An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive first material appearance data representing a material appearance of an image, a material appearance mapping unit configured to convert the first material appearance data into second material appearance data corresponding to a material appearance reproducible by a material appearance reproducing apparatus, and a conversion unit configured to convert the second material appearance data into control data for reproducing the material appearance of the image using the material appearance reproducing apparatus. The first material appearance data includes a gloss signal corresponding to a specular gloss and a gloss signal corresponding to an image clarity.
